Sweet Potato Skins
- 6 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 1/2 pounds)
- 3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup salsa verde
- 1/2 avocado, pitted and cut into small pieces
- 1 cup black bean chips, crushed
- Position an oven rack in the top of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Put the sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until fork-tender, 40 to 50 minutes.
- Let cool completely.
- (The potatoes can be baked, cooled and refrigerated a day ahead.)
- Split each in half lengthwise, and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving about a 1/4-inch border all around.
- (Save the scooped-out flesh for making mashed sweet potatoes later.)
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Put a rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Arrange the potato skins skin-side up on the rack, and brush with 2 tablespoons of the oil.
- Bake until the skins are slightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Let cool completely, then cut each in half crosswise.
- Arrange the pieces skin-side down on the rack, and sprinkle each with mozzarella, Parmesan and scallions.
- Bake until the mozzarella melts, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the potato skins from the oven, and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of oil.
- Top each with some salsa verde and avocado.
- Sprinkle with crushed chips.
